Know yourself; know your characters
Never base your worth as a writer on whether you publish or not
Obstacles that are most challenging are those we create for ourselves
Write for yourself instead of the markets
Villains mirroring protagonists’ internal conflicts make strong antagonists
Establish character, setting, voice, genre and conflict as early as possible
Make every word on every page count
BUTT in chair is the only cure for the mythical writer’s block
Enjoy the process; eating chocolate helps
Revise, revise, revise: it’s where the best writing happens
